President Biden emerged victorious in Nevada’s Democratic primary Tuesday, while former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley suffered a humiliating defeat in the Republican contest where former President Donald Trump’s name wasn’t even on the ballot.
“None of these candidates” was the top vote-getter on the GOP side of the bill, with the option receiving more than 60% of the vote when the race was called by the Associated Press.
Haley was the only major GOP candidate that signed up for the Nevada primary, which has no delegates at stake, over the state GOP-run caucus, which will be held Thursday and has 26 delegates up for grabs.
Facing virtually no competition, Haley only amassed 33.2% of the vote in a contest marked by low turnout.
Only 11,802 total ballots had been cast in person as of 2 p.m. local time, according to the Nevada secretary of state’s office.
